About Us

Recognizing a need for globally conscious activity at Penn Law, a group of students founded the International Human Rights Advocates in 2006, an organization dedicated to pro bono service worldwide.

IHRA gives students a chance to fulfill their service requirements and interact with leading legal professionals and academics while addressing some of the world’s most severe crises.
